FIREARM FOES from the Philly-based CeaseFire PA have a simple answer for the gun-rights activists who have increasingly targeted them for protest: Bring it!

Gun owners have shown up to CeaseFire PA rallies and events in bigger and louder groups, videotaping the goings-on and counterprotesting, said Shira Goodman, the group's executive director.

...Stolfer said he plans to investigate CeaseFire PA's financials. His group and other gun supporters will gather in Harrisburg next Tuesday for their annual Second Amendment rally.

Goodman said she'll consider hiring security for future events if critics' protests escalate. CeaseFire PA's next gun violence prevention rally will be May 10 in LOVE Park.

An anti-gun group, who presumably feels the general public should rely on the police for protection, feels they made need to hire security for their next rally, simply because the other side is turning out in greater numbers.

Hypocrites much?
